THE RULES

The contest is open to all suitcase colours. 

The aim of the game is to make the judges shiver, look behind themselves or not want to/be able to go to sleep. 

Fiction stories and poetry only, up to 2,000 words for short stories and 80 lines for poetry. No song lyrics, novel chapters or plays.

Punctuation, spelling, style and grammar will be taken into consideration, but most of all I want to see originality, or, failing that, make the old story your own and give us something to remember! 

New and old entries allowed. Say if your entry is new or old when entering. 

No rating over 18+.

One entry per person; only one static item. You may edit until close of contest. If you're a winner, I would appreciate if your static item remains available for everyone to see, but of course just let me know. Thank you and have fun! 

Post your entry in bitem format. 

For example:

ID: 1718972   (Rated: E) Halloween Contest! 2010 -Closed!  Show me what you've got! by Andrea Jones

The formula here is simply;

{ bitem: #######}

Replacing the #'s with the ID number, excluding the letters 'ID' and the '#', of your item. 

Contest closes on 31st October. I will post when the contest has officialy closed and therefore any entries after that will be discounted.
